Akwa Ibom on my mind and here we are doing it the Lovingly way with this uniquely crafted poem. Ifim Ibom Ibibio is the traditional stool that is meant for the traditional ruler.
When you are in love with a culture, you need to respect that culture and learn to live with the norms of that particular person. Romantic Love Poems For Her From The Heart And Short Love Poems For Her
History teaches the way of the people, it is something that generations should come to appreciate. Here we are telling part of the Ibibio symbol of traditional authority through the Ifim.
Ifim Ibom Ibibio
Ifim!
The scare stool
That only our Royal Majesties could sat down
Ifim!
What does it symbolizes?
The cradle of our civilization.
From the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria
Her descendants came in unity from wide and near
With a royal blessing Ifim Ibom Ibibio was born -
The Supreme Council of Ibibio Traditional Rulers.
The hub of Ibibio unity
Our traditional custodians
We salute your brave courage
For in our root you have come to identify
That we shall build our treasure Asan
Where our children’s children will accord
The spread of our journey.
Show me a man with a future
Then I will show you a man that knows his root
Show me a man that knows his past
Then I will show you a man that knows his future.
